The tweets are BACK, baby!
Ugh.
Sorry.
In the wake of everything that’s happening in the world today, we decided to forego our regular weekly collection of the best goofs, gags and japes on Twitter last week. There wasn’t anything funny going on, anywhere. We’re easing back into it, though, and at the end of a week that saw some truly risible behavior absolutely worthy of online scorn. Like, what’s that Harry Potter lady thinking? And the rush to reopen everything, even as cases climb? And why is all of society basically dumb and bad and deserving of our contempt? I mean, shit, those are things to joke about. So here are those jokes, both from professional joke miners and mere amateur joke enthusiasts. And if anybody responsible for these tweets would rather not get wrapped up in these kinds of overviews, let us know: we’re on Twitter @Paste_Comedy.

I feel bad for Elmo because he has been a kid for like 35 years and every day one of his friends has to explain death or racism or 9/11 to him. No wonder he’s created his own little world.

Absolutely incredible for JK Rowling to have a take so bad that everyone looked up from the nonstop videos of police pepper spraying grandmas just to dunk on her

Nobody is walking up to a statue to learn history.
Now, a pedestal with a statue missing? Something happened here. Time to learn what fucked up shit this guy did that got his metal ass removed.

Lot of insane stuff happens in John Wick, but my dad’s biggest takeaway was “wait, if he’s suppose to live in New Jersey then why is he pumping his own gas?”

Every bartender I’ve ever met is better at de-escalating conflict than the police.
